Abstract

This article studies characteristic and appropriate outlet diameter of cyclone combustion chamber for the slop fuel in the laboratory to find cyclone combustion model with the least fly ash, using CFD of the ANSYS Fluent v.15.0. Cyclone combustion model is 30 cm in diameter and 100 cm in width of combustion chamber. The results showed that average temperature in combustion chamber and the amount of fly ash in cyclone chamber model with hollow cylinder for trap fly ash is higher than cyclone chamber model with cone cut for trap fly ash. Therefore, the cyclone chamber model with cone cut for trap fly ash suitable for burning slop fuel is diameter 8-12 cm and extends into cyclone chamber 5-10 cm.
